Saxton Hale é o CEO australiano da Mann Co., sexto homem mais rico do mundo, e a estrela da série de quadrinhos Saxton Hale's Thrilling Tales. Seus passatempos favoritos incluem lutar, beber e lutar contra animais ferozes. Sua identidade inclui um bigode, músculos, chapéu com dentes de crocodilo, e cabelo de peito com o formato da Austrália. Ele também recusa usar roupas na parte superior do corpo "por razões óbvias".

Saxton é a parte atual da família Hale a assumir a Mann Co. desde que Zepheniah Mann deixou sua posse para seu ajudante e batedor Barnabas Hale em seu testamento. Sua presença violenta é sentida em todas as áreas da companhia, do slogan We sell products and get in fights (Nós vendemos produtos e entramos em brigas) até as Gorilla Wrestling Fridays, suas tentativas de aumentar a moral dos funcionários. Ele também preenche formulários com caixas de assinalar para intimidar rivais ladrões de produtos ou recomendar novos inventores para mandar uma nova idéia de produto para ele. Sua imagem inspirante também aparece em vários catálogos da Mann Co. e materiais promocionais. Ele é conhecido (e temido) por acreditar em lidar com problemas de atendimento ao cliente pessoalmente, com sua política oficial sendo: "Se você não está 100% satisfeito com nossos produtos, você pode vir até mim!"

Edição Informação

Saxton Hale's
Mail Storm

Saxton Hale's Mail Storm teve sua primeira e única edição publicada em Março de 1964 para ajudar a explicar o recall federal de todos os 36 milhões de descaroçador de maçãs pessoal Gold Coast-Tweed devido a sua tendência de não descaroçar apenas maçãs, mas também dedos, lâmpadas e pequenos animais peludos. Quando o governo exigiu que o quadrinho fosse publicado gratuitamente, Mann Co. respondeu aumentando seu preço de 12 centavos para 20 centavos, com o motivo de que se alguém fosse ganhar alguma coisa de graça, eles teriam que pagar por isso.

Edição #1

Saxton Hale's Mildly Thrilling Tales

As the youth movement of the 1960s escalated, manufacturers produced fewer and fewer products for the elderly. By 1963, only four items remained: hats, meat, caskets, and Saxton Hale's Mildly Thrilling Tales. Naked from the forehead down, lying in their coffins gumming Salisbury steak, an entire generation of despondent, forgotten consumers was left with just one thing on which to spend their government checks: Hale's tepid, senior-friendly tales of modest suspense. Saxton Hale Visits His Mother Monthly and Soothing Stories of Familiar Things soon followed. Hale quickly became the wealthiest man in the Western Hemisphere.

Edição #4

Girl's Adventure Starring Saxton Hale

Boy's Adventure with Saxton Hale came under fire from the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency in 1968 for teaching boys aged 6-16, among other things: moral turpitude, arson, vandalism, hippie assault, tax fraud, at-home laryngectomies, car theft, gorilla slaughter, and the Heimlich Maneuver (which had just been invented and was still considered controversial). Pressured by the Senate, Mann Co. changed the name to Girl's Adventure With Saxton Hale, as it was commonly thought at the time that girls couldn't do anything, so any lessons taught to them would be harmless.

Edição #6

Saxton Hale's
Barbershop Action

Saxton Hale's Barbershop Action capitalized on the brief "haircut" fad of the early 60s. Its breakaway success would lead to the ancillary titles Saxton Hale's Barbershop Romance and Haircut Horrors Starring Saxton Hale's Ghost. By Issue #40, however, the Peacenik movement had gripped America in its filthy, tangled mane, and haircut fiction saw a steep decline. This would be the start of a lifelong feud between Hale and hippies, which would culminate in his firebombing Woodstock from a helicopter.

Edição #12

Saxton Hale's
Jungle Brawl

Saxton Hale's Jungle Brawl debuted in the U.S. in 1962, riding a wave of anti-gorilla sentiment following Russia's successful launch of the first monkey, Vladimir Bananas, into space. America's rage was not isolated to communist primates; that same year, monkeynaut Poopy Joe cruelly dashed the U.S.'s hopes of reaching the stars when its shuttle detonated on takeoff. Brawl was notorious for inflaming human-gorilla tensions during its ten-year run, most famously in issue #50, which was printed with gorillas' blood. Issue #50's print run of 17 million copies left only five gorillas on the planet.

Saxton Hale's
Thrilling Tales

Saxton Hale's Thrilling Tales first arrived on newsstands in 1961 as part of a bold Mann Co. initiative to sidestep an increase on postage costs for their weapons catalogs. The first 64-page issue contained four pages of thrilling tales and sixty pages of ads for exciting new Mann Co. products. But Thrilling's editors quickly discovered that showing Mann Co. founder Saxton Hale using a product in the story itself tripled its sales. Ads were cut to 32 pages to accommodate longer, product placement-based stories.

Apple

Saxton sees the unknown manager.

During the Mac Update, a non-canon comic was released that contained Saxton Hale. In this comic, Saxton Hale smashes through the Apple store's window, as he proclaims that he is going to burn the store to the ground. Saxton picks up a nearby device, presses a button, and then blows up the Moon with the Apple store's product ("iBlewupthemoon".) The product impresses Saxton so much that he decides to purchase the Apple store. However, the store's manager appears, and refuses to sell the Apple store. Saxton instantly recognizes the man, and insults his curvy designs. The comic ends with the title of the next issue When Titans Clash.

Hale Mail

Saxton Hale in action.

The lucky few who sent in the Force-A-Nature order form The Scout Update - Day 5 received an invoice from Saxton Hale himself, sadly informing them that the requested item was out of stock. For compensation, the sender received a signed photo of Saxton Hale standing in front of Template:W with the words "Thanks for writing, little fella!" and a keychain featuring a random Team Fortress 2 class. The letter also advised to keep an eye on their mailbox, as new products could be on the way.

Yet more lucky senders who mailed in the coupon The Sniper vs. Spy Update - Day 4 received a letter bearing the Mann Co. logo and the snarling face of Saxton Hale. Inside was another letter, informing the recipient that the requested product(s) were out of stock and that they should continue to check their mailbox as new items/legislation could be on the way, as well as several postcards bearing random cover images from Saxton Hale's Thrilling Tales.

At this point, Valve requested not to send any money due to legal reasons. Valve donated the money they had received to Template:W.
